Arable crop disease control, climate change and food security
(Association of Applied Biologists, 2011)
Global food security is threatened by crop diseases that account for average yield losses of 16%. Climate change is exacerbating threats to food security in much of the world, emphasising the need to increase food production ...
Predicting light leaf spot (Pyrenopeziza brassicae) risk on winter oilseed rape (Brassica napus) in England and Wales, using survey, weather and crop information
(2004-12)
Data from surveys of winter oilseed rape crops in England and Wales in growing seasons with harvests in 1987-99 were used to construct statistical models to predict, in autumn (October), the incidence of light leaf spot ...
A comparison of modelling methods for forecasting light leaf spot (Pyrenopeziza brassicae) on winter oilseed rape in the UK
(British Crop Protection Council, 2000-11)
Epidemiology, forecasting and management of winter oilseed rape diseases in the UK
(1999)
Survey results show that the most serious diseases on winter oilseed rape in the UK are light leaf spot (Pyrenopeziza brassicae) and stem canker (Leptosphaeria maculans), then stem rot (Sclerotinia sclerotiorum) and dark ...
Improving strategies to control stem canker in the UK
(1999)
The fungicides difenoconazole, flusilazole + carbendazim, prochloraz + carbendazim and tebuconazole applied as two or four spray treatments at full or half dose gave good control of phoma leaf spot on canker-susceptible ...
Relationships between regional weather and incidence of light leaf spot (Pyrenopeziza brassicae) on winter oilseed rape in England and Wales
(Association of Applied Biologists, 1999)
Empirical models for prediction of regional light leaf spot (Pyrenopeziza brassicae) incidence on winter oilseed rape in the UK
(1998)
Empirical models have been used to forecast plant disease epidemics and guide spray decisions. Light leaf spot (Pyrenopeziza brassicae) is a serious disease of winter oilseed rape in the UK, showing seasonal and regional ...
Development of a system for forecasting severe light leaf spot in winter oilseed rape
(1998)
In the UK, an estimated £3-9 M are spent each year on fungicides to control winter oilseed rape diseases, but losses in excess of £30 M still occur [1]. Light leaf spot (Pyrenopeziza brassicae) is one of the major diseases ...
